Thanks for your answer. I have only one Beagleboard Revision C4 
(CONTROL_IDCODE of the OMAP3530 is 0x4B7AE02F). My host is a Ubuntu 
12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) and I use the gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf 
cross-compiler version 4.7.2-1.

Compiling the actual u-boot leaded to the reported error. All version 
since commit cb55b3320014b7f6014416c556fe506efbf0a84b led to the 
hanging. All version before boots correctly.

Adding the define to omap3_beagle.h leads to a correct booting for all 
versions. Also a reset of the uart at the beginning of the init function 
leads to a correct booting. So I exclude that the hardware is defective.

If you can tell me your compiler and version I can try to use your 
cross-compiler.

Best regards,
Manfred
